Investigation of multithreaded iperf experiments on an ethernet interface show the iommu->lock as the hottest lock identified by lockstat, with something of the order of 21M contentions out of 27M acquisitions, and an average wait time of 26 us for the lock. This is not efficient. A more scalable design is to follow the ppc model, where the iommu_table has multiple pools, each stretching over a segment of the map, and with a separate lock for each pool. This model allows for better parallelization of the iommu map search. This patch adds the iommu range alloc/free function infrastructure. Signed-off-by:

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "Here are the core arm64 updates for 4.1. Highlights include a significant rework to head.S (allowing us to boot on machines with physical memory at a really high address), an AES performance boost on Cortex-A57 and the ability to run a 32-bit userspace with 64k pages (although this requires said userspace to be built with a recent binutils). The head.S rework spilt over into KVM, so there are some changes under arch/arm/ which have been acked by Marc Zyngier (KVM co-maintainer). In particular, the linker script changes caused us some issues in -next, so there are a few merge commits where we had to apply fixes on top of a stable branch. Other changes include: - AES performance boost for Cortex-A57 - AArch32 (compat) userspace with 64k pages - Cortex-A53 erratum workaround for #845719 - defconfig updates (new platforms, PCI, ...)" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (39 commits) arm64: fix midr range for Cortex-A57 erratum 832075 arm64: errata: add workaround for cortex-a53 erratum #845719 arm64: Use bool function return values of true/false not 1/0 arm64: defconfig: updates for 4.1 arm64: Extract feature parsing code from cpu_errata.c arm64: alternative: Allow immediate branch as alternative instruction arm64: insn: Add aarch64_insn_decode_immediate ARM: kvm: round HYP section to page size instead of log2 upper bound ARM: kvm: assert on HYP section boundaries not actual code size arm64: head.S: ensure idmap_t0sz is visible arm64: pmu: add support for interrupt-affinity property dt: pmu: extend ARM PMU binding to allow for explicit interrupt affinity arm64: head.S: ensure visibility of page tables arm64: KVM: use ID map with increased VA range if required arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map ARM: kvm: implement replacement for ld's LOG2CEIL() arm64: proc: remove unused cpu_get_pgd macro arm64: enforce x1|x2|x3 == 0 upon kernel entry as per boot protocol arm64: remove __calc_phys_offset arm64: merge __enable_mmu and __turn_mmu_on ...

Commit 9c521a20 ("crypto: api - remove instance when test failed") tried to grab a module reference count before the module was even set. Worse, it then goes on to free the module reference count after it is set so you quickly end up with a negative module reference count which prevents people from using any instances belonging to that module. This patch moves the module initialisation before the reference count. Reported-by:

The macro BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK can be implemented without a conditional, which will generally lead to slightly better generated code (221 bytes saved for allmodconfig-GCOV_KERNEL, ~2k with GCOV_KERNEL). As a small bonus, this also ensures that the nbits parameter is expanded exactly once. In BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK, if start is signed gcc is technically allowed to assume it is positive (or divisible by BITS_PER_LONG), and hence just do the simple mask. It doesn't seem to use this, and even on an architecture like x86 where the shift only depends on the lower 5 or 6 bits, and these bits are not affected by the signedness of the expression, gcc still generates code to compute the C99 mandated value of start % BITS_PER_LONG. So just use a mask explicitly, also for consistency with BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK. Signed-off-by:

The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its current users, vsnprintf(). If that is to honour its contract, it must know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf). So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like: Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination. It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to append a '\0' if desired. Also, we must output partial escape sequences, otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever they previously contained. This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem(); since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would happily write to dst. For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops. In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small. We also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref) if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for kasprintf("%pE") to work. In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics. Someone should definitely double-check this. In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

When printf is given the format specifier %pE, it needs a way of obtaining the total output size that would be generated if the buffer was large enough, and string_escape_mem doesn't easily provide that. This is a refactorization of string_escape_mem in preparation of changing its external API to provide that information. The somewhat ugly early returns and subsequent seemingly redundant conditionals are to make the following patch touch as little as possible in string_helpers.c while still preserving the current behaviour of never outputting partial escape sequences. That behaviour must also change for %pE to work as one expects from every other printf specifier. Signed-off-by:

The helper hex_string() is broken in two ways. First, it doesn't increment buf regardless of whether there is room to print, so callers such as kasprintf() that try to probe the correct storage to allocate will get a too small return value. But even worse, kasprintf() (and likely anyone else trying to find the size of the result) pass NULL for buf and 0 for size, so we also have end == NULL. But this means that the end-1 in hex_string() is (char*)-1, so buf < end-1 is true and we get a NULL pointer deref. I double-checked this with a trivial kernel module that just did a kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%14ph", "CrashBoomBang"). Nobody seems to be using %ph with kasprintf, but we might as well fix it before it hits someone. Signed-off-by:

This patch series improves the documentation for printk() formats, and adds support for printing clocks. The latter has always been a hassle if you wanted to support both the common and legacy clock frameworks. - '%pC' and '%pCn' print the name (Common Clock Framework) or address (legacy clock framework) of a clock, - '%pCr' prints the current clock rate.

At least since the initial git commit, when base was passed as a separate parameter, number() has only been called with bases 8, 10 and 16. I'm guessing that 66 was to accommodate 64 0/1, a sign and a '\0', but the buffer is only used for the actual digits. Octal digits carry 3 bits of information, so 24 is enough. Spell that 3*sizeof(num) so one less place needs to be changed should long long ever be 128 bits. Also remove the commented-out code that would handle an arbitrary base. Signed-off-by:

Since FORMAT_TYPE_INT is simply 1 more than FORMAT_TYPE_UINT, and similarly for BYTE/UBYTE, SHORT/USHORT, LONG/ULONG, we can eliminate a few instructions by making SIGN have the value 1 instead of 2, and then use arithmetic instead of branches for computing the right spec->type. It's a little hacky, but certainly in the same spirit as SMALL needing to have the value 0x20. For example for the spec->qualifier == 'l' case, gcc now generates 75e: 0f b6 53 01 movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx 762: 83 e2 01 and $0x1,%edx 765: 83 c2 09 add $0x9,%edx 768: 88 13 mov %dl,(%rbx) instead of 763: 0f b6 53 01 movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx 767: 83 e2 02 and $0x2,%edx 76a: 80 fa 01 cmp $0x1,%dl 76d: 19 d2 sbb %edx,%edx 76f: 83 c2 0a add $0xa,%edx 772: 88 13 mov %dl,(%rbx) Signed-off-by: -

The kernel has orderly_poweroff which allows the kernel to initiate a graceful shutdown of userspace, by running /sbin/poweroff. This adds orderly_reboot that will cause userspace to shut itself down by calling /sbin/reboot. This will be used for shutdown initiated by a system controller on platforms that do not use ACPI. orderly_reboot() should be used when the system wants to allow userspace to gracefully shut itself down. For cases where the system may imminently catch on fire, the existing emergency_restart() provides an immediate reboot without involving userspace. Signed-off-by:
